Love Minus Zero No Limit Lyrics

My love she speaks like silenceWithout ideals or violenceShe doesn't have to say she's faithfulYet she's true, like ice, like firePeople carry rosesAnd make promises by the hoursMy love she laughs like the flowersValentines can't buy her.

In the dime stores and bus stationsPeople talk of situationsRead books, repeat quotationsDraw conclusions on the wallSome speak of the futureMy love she speaks softlyShe knows there's no success like failureAnd that failure's no succes at all.

The cloak and dagger danglesMadams light the candlesIn ceremonies of the horsemenEven the pawn must hold a grudgeStatues made of match sticksCrumble into one anotherMy love winks, she does not botherShe knows too much to argue or to judge.

The bridge at midnight tremblesThe country doctor ramblesBankers' nieces seek perfectionExpecting all the gifts that wise men bringThe wind howls like a hammerThe night blows rainyMy love she's like some ravenAt my window with a broken wing.
